Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed. September 8, 1919. Serial No. 322,320.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN R. WRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Wheeling, in the county of Livingston and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Adjustable Sag-Gate, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to gates one of its objects being to provide a gate having simple and efficient means thereon whereby it can be adjusted angularly to any desired position and then securely fastened, thus to allow small animals to leave an inclosure and at the same time act as a bar for large live stock. 7

Another object is to provide adjusting means which is easily operated and easy to install.

With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinati ons of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim it Jeing understood that various: changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as set forth in the appended claim. 7

In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.

In said drawings Figure 1 is an elevation of a gate having the present improvements applied thereto, one position being indicated by broken lines.

Fig. 2 is a section through the clamp.

Referring to the figures by characters of reference 1 designates a post to which is hinged a gate 2 made up of vertical members 3 and parallel rails 4, said rails and the members 3 being pivotally connected, as indicated at 5 so that the gate can be adjusted angularly by swinging the rails about their connections with the members 3. Pivotally connected to two of the rails 3 is a strip 6 and a rod 7 is pivotally connected at its ends to this strip 6 and to one of the members 3, said rod being parallel with the rails. A split sleeve 8 is slidably mounted on the rod 7 and has ears 9 connected by a bolt 10. Mounted on this bolt with the ears Patented June 1, 192%). V

9 extending between them are eyes formed at the lower ends of brace rods 11 and the upper ends of the rods are pivotally connected to the upper end portionof the member 3 at the hinge end of the gate. Obviously by loosening the bolt" 10 the sleeve will be loosened on the rod 7 and can be slid thereon, thereby causing the rods ll to pull or to push on the end of the gate so as tical and rail members, a strip pivotally connected to certain of the rail members and'parallel with the vertical members, a

them, and a connection between the brake rods and the upper end of one of the vertical members, said connection between the brake I rods and the ears being adjustable to bind the sleeve uponits guide rod.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto aiiixed my slgnature.
